How do you learn a language at home?
Set a goal scene and level, then practise 20 minutes a day: review words on a spaced schedule, listen or read at a level you mostly understand, and say or write a few sentences. Add one speaking session a week and a monthly check. The Language Learning System from Bodhih Training gives you the plan and tools.

You already feel the problem. Here is what it is costing you.
Streaks that break, plans that stall
An app streak or an ambitious hour a night works until the first bad week. Then guilt takes over and the plan quietly stops.
Words that will not stay
Long shared decks, rereading lists and cramming feel busy, yet most words fade within days. Without a review schedule, effort leaks away.
Understanding, but not speaking
Many home learners can follow a fair amount but freeze in conversation, because speaking was always put off until they felt ready.
Children who answer in English
Parents keep a heritage language going for years, then the child starts school and replies in the other language. Without a plan, the home language slips.
Picture the next few weeks with the kit open beside you.
Picture next Sunday evening. You open the tracker, and the Weekly Summary shows six practice days, 128 minutes and 40 new words, each with its next review date already worked out. You fill in next week's plan in fifteen minutes and close the laptop.
On Monday, as you put the kettle on, you start the review block. Six minutes, the words due today, oldest box first. Then seven minutes of a podcast you mostly understand, three sentences out loud, and one line in the log. Twenty minutes, done before the tea is cool.
When you sit down for your first tutor lesson, you have already prepared five phrases and two questions on the prep form, and your rescue phrases are ready. Afterwards you write down the two mistakes to fix and copy the new words into box 1.
And at the end of the month, whether you start with the goal self-check tonight or the family plan at the weekend, you take the same four short tests, type four numbers, and watch the progress line move.

A taste of Chapter 2
The linguist Stephen Krashen argued, from the late 1970s onwards, that people acquire a language mainly by understanding messages in it: listening and reading to things that are just a little beyond their current level, where context fills the gaps. He called this comprehensible input. Researchers still argue about how far his theory goes, but almost everyone agrees on the practical point: you need a large amount of listening and reading at the right level, and you probably are not getting enough. "The right level" matters. If you understand almost nothing, your brain has nothing to hang new words on. If you understand everything, there is nothing new. The sweet spot is where you follow the story and meet a handful of unknown words per page or per minute.

The Language Learning System: FAQs
Read the free guideAlready bought? Resend my linkWhich languages does the kit work for?
Any language. The method, forms and templates are language-neutral: you fill in your own words and phrases. The worked example and the sample rows in the tracker use Brazilian Portuguese so you can see how everything fits together.
How long does it take to learn a language?
It depends on the language, what you already speak and how much you practise. The US Foreign Service Institute publishes rough training times for English speakers, from about 24 to 30 weeks of full-time study for languages such as Spanish or French to about 88 weeks for languages such as Japanese or Arabic. The kit helps you set a realistic twelve-month target and track it.
Is 20 minutes a day really enough?
Twenty steady minutes, plus one speaking session a week, adds up to a lot of practice over a year, and it survives busy weeks far better than long sessions. The routine is built to grow if you have more time and to shrink on bad days.
Do I need an app?
No. The tracker's Vocabulary Bank works as a spaced repetition system on its own, and the printable flash cards and box labels work on paper. If you already like a spaced repetition app, keep it and use the rest of the kit around it.
Can children use this kit?
Yes, with an adult in charge. Chapter 9 and the Family Language Plan cover children, heritage languages and school languages. For younger children, halve the minutes, use the family word cards and games, and let an adult do the logging.
Is it safe for children to practise with AI tools?
Many AI tools set a minimum age, often 13, and some require parental permission under 18. The kit's rule is stricter: children never share personal information, and an adult chooses the prompt, supervises and checks the output. The dated notes tell you where to check each tool's terms.
Will two languages confuse my child?
The American Speech-Language-Hearing Association says children can learn more than one language and that using more than one at home does not cause or worsen speech or language problems; mixing languages is normal. If you are worried, talk to a speech and language professional.
How can I measure my starting point?
Use the Goal and Level Self-Check form to rate your four skills. If you want an outside view of how you learn, AssessAll's Learning Agility and Study Skills and Learning Strategies assessments measure your starting point, and the Speaking Sprints Drill offers structured English speaking practice.
Can I turn this into a wider development plan?
Yes. If your language goal is tied to work, Jobulary's guide to if-then plans helps you turn the routine into habits that stick, and you can build the language goal into a broader development plan there.
Is this professional advice?
No. The kit is educational content from a training company. It is not speech and language therapy, special educational needs, legal or immigration advice. Country notes are dated examples: check the official source and your local education authority.
How much does The Language Learning System cost?
₹799 including 18% GST for buyers in India, or $24 for buyers outside India. One-time payment, no subscription, with an automatic invoice.
How do I get the files after paying?
Instantly. Your download page opens the moment payment succeeds, and a permanent download link is emailed to you. Download each file separately or everything in one ZIP.
What software do I need?
Any of the usual tools: Excel or Google Sheets for spreadsheets, Word or Google Docs for templates, Adobe Acrobat Reader, Preview, Xodo or GoodNotes for the fillable PDFs, and Google, Outlook or Apple Calendar for the calendar plan.
Can I get a refund?
Because it is a digital download, kits are not refundable once downloaded. We always refund a duplicate charge or a failed delivery, and if a file is corrupted and we cannot fix it within 3 working days. Full terms: bodhih.org/refunds.
Can my company buy this for a team?
Yes. Team and company licences, and workshops on this topic run by Bodhih Training, are available. Write to solutions@bodhih.com or call +91 99000 11601.
